I didn't get to see my Mum for mothers day as I was sick and don't want to spread my cold around, I am struggling with it so my mum really doesn't need it. I will try to see her over the weekend coming before her and dad go travelling around the countryside for winter.
Pattern: Luscious Lace Scarf by Knitting Pixie Design
Yarn: Flinders Island Fleece Pure Merino 2ply
Needles: Addi Turbo 2.5mm circular
Time: approx. 2weeks.
The pattern is a lace weight which must be around a 4ply and knitted on 3.25mm. I used a 2ply with 2.5mm needles and cast on the same as per pattern and knitted 30 repeats instead of the stated 15 repeats, as it wasn't long enough at 15 repeats. 30 repeats maybe a bit too long as when blocked it is 6ft long.
I have for a while now wanted time to be home to catch up on some things, but the only time I can get time off at home is when I am sick and we all know that it is impossible to do much if anything while sick. I have been pushing myself though, in between resting, coughing, blowing my nose, sipping hot lemon and honey etc etc.
I got out the book Socks from the toe up and managed to turn the heel on one circular needle, not that the instructions were for one needle, but I managed it and I am now on the leg length.
Now that I have worn myself out by doing this post, I am heading back to the lounge for some more much needed rest and a hot lemon and honey drink.

That scarf is just gorgeous. What a lovely gift. I'm off to look at the pattern!
i know what you mean about being home and sick, its quite hard to actually rest! that scarf is gorgeous and yay! you turned a heel!! its a bit weird the first time like that but youll get the hang of it, they look great!
It was strange doing the heel this way as I am use to going from the top down, a while back I did do a pair from the toe up, but can't remember it feeling weird like this time, they are looking good though.
